Fitterer definitely spoke glowingly about Ian Thomas and his 20mph GPS speed and thought he was getting a steal of a deal with that "mid-level" contract. Scot just suffers from massive PTSD from Hurney that leads to defending anything and everything any other GM does. LOL!

I don't understand that comparison at all. Ridder would significantly outperform Hooker in any measurable. I think Hooker is basically a poor man's Geno Smith.

It's not out of the question that he still has connections within the UGA program somewhere. Hopefully he does because Washington would make for an intriguing potential 2nd round target.

I'm personally hoping Levis blows it up leading up to the draft and goes really high to someone not us.

What connections are those? UNC or Tennessee doesn't have a draftable TE in this year's draft. Anyone he coached at UGA is long gone and it's a completely new coaching staff from when he was there nearly a decade ago. With that said, Darnell Washington is my Anthony Richardson of TEs this year. Super intriguing talent.

I have no idea what happened to Ebron in the NFL. Dude was a beast in college. It'd be one thing if he just didn't translate in that he wasn't able to get open, etc. But it was like he just forgot how to play football on the NFL despite his athleticism clearly translating.

Me as an NFL GM when Daniel Jones comes talking about $45M per year

They very well might.

Daniel Jones is a marginal starter/good backup level QB. In retrospect, the Giants really screwed up not picking up his 5th year option because now they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. Grossly overpay a marginal QB or... or what? Ultimately, I think he's franchised. But if I was them I'd probably punt his ass and go get Carr.

Oh, for sure. Competence and experience doesn't automatically guarantee success. You can still swing and whiff. Bill Belichick has had no shortage of bad draft picks.

I'm super intrigued by Richardson but he's definitely boom or bust. No doubt about that. I'll be excited as hell if we draft him because that means that our very qualified and experienced coaching staff (whew, that's a relief) believes in him and their ability to develop him. I won't throw a fit if we don't draft him because then the opposite would be true and I do trust this staff to make this call more so than any staff we've ever had.

Just think about the level of stud you gotta be to wear #15 at UF. Speaking of which... how in the fug is #15 at UF not retired??? We all mock The Golden Calf of Bristol in the NFL but nobody should be wearing that jersey at Florida.

Watching Richardson at UF last year was reminiscent of watching Howell in his final year at UNC. It was basically a one man show because the surrounding cast pretty much sucked. At least Howell had Josh Downs. Richardson didn't have anything but dudes with cinder blocks for hands.

Truly one of the more baffling re-signings we've ever made. Thomas looked like a guy who should have been signing a low level deal to compete to be depth on the bottom of a roster and we paid him like a legit starter.

Ebron wasn't even on a roster last season and caught 12 passes for 84 yards in all of 2021. I think he's done whether he wants to be or not. Bring him in on a vet min deal with no guarantees and give him a shot if we want but we shouldn't be counting on anything.

Watch the games. He's a much better QB than I thought and his weapons at UF were much worse than I thought.

Frank Gore was a helluva RB and I honestly don't know how he ever graduated HS based on his interviews. RB is probably the least cerebral position in football. It's why rookies are often impact players.

Wilson is definitely trying to put his own spin in retrospect on that one. It was widely reported at the time that the spat between him and O'Brien was that O'Brien wanted him to commit 100% to football and Wilson wanted to keep his options open by continuing to play baseball. Honestly, understandable from both sides but particularly Wilson's. So why spin it into this bullshit story about how he was told to just go play baseball because he's never going to make it in the NFL anyway? That story doesn't even sound believable. He was a very good college QB. Why would his college coach tell him to pack it in even if he wasn't cut out for the NFL? Why would a college coach care about that? His job is to win college football games. A very good college player who isn't cut out for the NFL is still a great college football asset.

I still can't believe we spent a 3rd round pick on a TE who had 35 catches for barely over 400 yards and 4 TDs in his entire college career.

Every test does the same thing at the end of the day. It measures how well you perform on that test. LOL!

If this was a fight, Russell Wilson has been knocked down twice in the first round and barely made it back to his corner and is now embarrassingly talking poo from his stool as the ring doctor is seriously considering stopping the fight from the ass beating he has endured. After Wilson looked like utter ass away from Carroll while Carroll helped a career journeyman look like an MVP candidate for half a season the scales are leaning HEAVILY toward Carroll.

They're both cognitive tests. There will be strong correlation.

My money is on either Howell or Zappe. Wonderlic scores: Zappe - 35 Howell - 34 Corral - 15

I think a lot of folks are getting waaaaaaay ahead of themselves penciling Purdy in as a long-term starting NFL QB.

Mid-level vet and still have TE on the draft board. That Ian Thomas contract was such a colossal mistake. He should honestly be a post-June 1st cut. Trimble is fine as a #3 TE on a cheap rookie contract.
